The Tcl core has made a lot of the functionality in Tcl-DP easier to implement in raw Tcl, but there is still some advantages that it provides as a package. I would be happy to add you as a developer on the SF project (tcldp) if you would like to work on it. There was an unreleased 4.0 version that did a lot of the Tcl-based work ... I don't know what the status of that is, but Gerald Lester is one name I remember associated with it. Regards, Jeff Hobbs, The Tcl Guy http://www.ActiveState.com/, a division of Sophos
